Danersk  Decorative  Furniture 


HE  three  requisites  of  correct  design  are  truth,  beauty  and 
power.  Danersk  decorative  furniture  is  truly  attractive,  inex¬ 
pensive,  well  constructed,  and  beautiful  of  line  and  finish.  To 
obtain  such  furniture  for  the  country  house,  the  suburban  home 
or  informal  rooms  of  the  city  apartment,  is  a  recognized  prob¬ 
lem.  Even  with  the  best  possible  shopping  facilities,  it  takes  a 
clever  person  who  has  an  intimate  knowledge  of  just  where  to 
go  to  find  furniture  and  its  accessories  that  will  combine  to 
make  a  unified  appeal.  When  the  investment  involved  must 
be  kept  within  certain  limits,  the  problem  is  doubly  difficult. 
It  is  to  solve  this  problem  that  Erskine-Danforth  Corporation 
offer:  First,  Danersk  Decorative  Furniture.  Second,  Service 
and  Advice.  Third,  Accessories  in  Harmony  with  Danersk  Furniture. 

WHAT  IS  DANERSK  FURNITURE? 

' There  are  Two  Classes 

1.  Beautifully  executed  pieces  of  special  design  of  Old  English  and  Colonial  tradition  for 
the  formal  rooms,  and  luxurious  English  overstuffed  couches  and  chairs. 

2.  Decorative  furniture  for  the  less  formal  rooms  done  in  any  color  scheme  desired. 

In  conception  it  is  nothing  new.  It  makes  use  of  the  fundamental  principles  of  design,  both 
as  to  form  and  color,  found  in  the  best  Polychrome  furniture  of  the  Renaissance  and  the 
Early  English  periods.  But  it  does  not  demand  so  long  a  purse  to  buy  it. 

Danersk  Decorative  Furniture  possesses  a  charm  all  its  own.  It  has  three  characteristics 
which  recommend  themselves.  It  is  inexpensive.  It  is  true  throughout.  It  is  beautiful.  It 
follows,  therefore,  that  it  is  not  of  that  class  known  as  “fine”  furniture,  nor  is  it  an  imitation 
of  anything  else. 

Danersk  Decorative  Furniture  makes  no  pretenses.  All  that  labor-saving  machinery  can 
perform  in  efficient  wood-working,  and  all  the  helps  that  the  mind  of  man  has  been  able  to 
contrive  for  the  saving  of  needless  expense,  have  been  utilized  in  its  production. 

No  effort  has  been  spared  in  the  correct  curing  of  the  wood  and  in  the  perfect  preparing 
of  it  for  finishing  or  decoration. 

The  making  of  Danersk  Decorative  Furniture  was  begun  in  the  mountains  of  North  Carolina. 
There  the  native  ability  of  the  mountain  chair  makers  and  the  abundance  of  valuable  woods 
and  water  power  prompted  the  building  of  a  little  factory  to  utilize  these  resources. 

The  first  objects  to  be  produced  were  copies  of  old-time  Windsor  Chairs,  with  delicate  hand¬ 
made  spindles  split  from  straight-grained  hickory  and  shaped  with  draw  knife  and  scraper  in 
the  homes  of  the  mountaineers.  Next  followed  the  Dutch  Vase  Back  and  Slat  Back  Chairs 
with  rungs  turned  by  hand  from  thick  pieces  of  mountain  mahogany  so  that  they  have  all  the 
exaggeration  of  bulge  and  curve  found  in  the  old-time  originals— lines  that  no  automatic  lathe 
can  duplicate. 

The  belief  that  the  American  people  are  ready  to  purchase  direct  from  the  makers  objects  that 
are  designed  to  preserve  beauty  of  line  and  charm  of  style  was  justified  and  it  became  necessary 
to  bring  in  additional  skilled  labor.  A  little  group  of  Scotch  cabinetmakers  was  found  and  they 
together  with  five  families  of  skilled  Austrian  benchmen  were  brought  down  to  the  mountains. 
Then  began  the  making  of  those  Colonial  Chests  and  Old  English  Hutches  for  which  the  Danersk 
Shops  have  since  become  particularly  well  known.

Wood 


Appeal 


In  addition  to  the  cabinetmakers  —  who  received  their  training  in  the  shops  of  Scotland  — 
we  turned  to  the  old  world  for  our  finishers — and  all  Danersk  Furniture  is  finished  without 
varnish  with  the  methods  employed  by  the  master  cabinetmakers  of  England  and  the 
continent  for  the  last  two  centuries;  methods  of  which  American  Varnishes  are  an  imitation. 
We  cut  our  own  shellac — purchasing  it  from  India  in  the  form  known  as  Button  Lac,  and  it  is 
applied  by  hand  from  specially  prepared  pads  with  which  the  body  is  built  up  and  becomes  a 
part  of  the  wood  itself.  Seven  years  apprenticeship  is  required  to  learn  to  be  a  finisher  as  it 
is  done  in  the  Danersk  plant. 

With  the  increasing  demand  for  Danersk  Furniture  came  the  necessity  for  added  manufacturing 
facilities  and  labor  and  it  was  decided  to  transfer  all  cabinetmaking  and  finishing  to  Stamford, 
Conn,  and  devote  the  Tryon  Shop  exclusively  to  the  hand-made  Windsor  Chairs,  Windsor 
Beds  and  similar  pieces  that  can  be  made  in  quantities  and  sent  to  Stamford  in  carload  lots 
to  be  finished  or  decorated.  Our  colony  of  Scotch  workers  was  transferred  entire,  and  our 
factories,  storage  facilities  and  decorating  departments  have  been  so  enlarged  and  developed 
that  orders  for  single  rooms  or  furniture  for  the  whole  house  can  be  gathered  together  and 
finished  to  the  customer’s  order  in  the  shortest  possible  time. 

We  are  the  makers  from  the  log  to  the  finished  object.  Our  Stamford  Factories  are  located 
in  the  heart  of  the  largest  mahogany  and  rare  wood  importing  district  in  the  United  States. 
Our  Tryon  Factory  has  its  own  short  Log  Band  Saw  Mill  which  is  constantly  at  work  on  logs 
of  solid  walnut  and  mountain  birch— culled  from  the  mountain  coves  and  brought  to  our  doors 
by  the  mountaineers  with  their  ox  teams  from  miles  around.  We  get  the  pick  of  the  whole 
country,  and  trees  that  would  only  be  cut  up  for  cord  wood  now  have  a  new  value,  for  the 
natives  have  learned  that  they  are  cash  in  their  pockets  and  food  and  clothing  in  the  winter 
months  when  there  is  no  other  revenue.  There  the  lumber  is  stacked  in  our  sheltered  yards 
and  allowed  to  cure  in  sun  and  wind — three  years  for  every  inch  of  thickness. 

INDIVIDUALITY  IN  FURNITURE 

There  are  those  who,  with  a  bit  of  fabric  from  Algiers,  some  pottery  from  our  own  Njew 
England,  and  such  odd  things  as  are  at  hand,  are  able  to  make  a  cabin  in  a  desert  place  as 
bright  and  full  of  interest  as  a  field  of  flowers.  There  are  others  who,  with  all  the  wealth  they 
may  desire,  succeed  in  producing  but  a  dull,  uninteresting  abode  whose  rooms  are  repellant  to 
the  happiness  of  their  children.  Needless  to  say  it  is  for  you  who  are  interested  in  furniture 
of  individuality  that  Danersk  products  are  offered,  so  that,  no  matter  where  your  home,  whether 
the  city  apartment,  the  suburban  house,  the  mountain  camp,  or  the  seashore  cottage,  a  letter 
will  bring  it  to  your  door. 


1  he  J  ryon  Shop — Notice  the  black  walnut  logs  piled  in  the  foreground.  This  sheltered  valley  is  ideal  for  the  curing 

of  our  lumber,  which  is  piled  in  the  sheds  in  the  background  and  at  the  right 


We  express  ourselves  in  the  persons  and  things  we  gather  about  us.  This  truth  implies  a 
vital  question.  “Is  there  a  unity  of  plan,  an  air  of  happiness,  and  an  atmosphere  of  charm  in 
the  rooms  that  are  our  own,  or  have  we  gradually  acquired  a  collection  of  objects  that  in  no 
way  express  the  real  joy  that  we  desire  for  our  daily  life?” 

The  new  appreciation  of  color  is  seen  on  all  sides.  In  architecture,  facades  as  bright  as 
those  of  old  European  buildings  are  making  their  appearance  even  on  crowded  business  streets. 
Old  houses  in  long-abandoned  quarters  of  our  cities  are  being  rescued  from  their  brown-stone 
mediocrity  and  through  the  clever  use  of  cement  and  color  some  of  the  charm  of  older  civili¬ 
zations  than  ours  is  being  developed. 

The  awakening  to  the  value  of  color  in  the  home  is  manifested  by  the  numerous 
articles  dealing  with  this  subject  which  have  appeared  recently  in  our  periodicals.  Stress  is 
laid  on  the  fact  that  children  need  color  and  brightness  as  food  for  imagination  and  mental 
development. 

The  instant  response  which  has  been  made  to  Danersk  Decorative  Eurniture  throughout  the 
land  is  ample  proof  to  us  that  it  meets  an  inward  and  vital  demand  from  those  who  desire 
what  is  best. 

This  movement  has  come  to  stay.  It  is  not  a  passing  fad.  Extremes  will  suffer,  but  the 
awakening  of  the  American  people  to  the  value  of  that  which  has  for  centuries  been  demanded 
by  the  most  advanced  peoples  of  the  world  is  the  beginning  of  a  great  and  enduring  era. 

Danersk  Decorative  Furniture  is  true  to  fundamental  principles  in  art  and  therefore  is 
permanent  in  conception  and  value. 

DANERSK  COLOR  CHIPS  AND  DESIGN  THEMES 

(See  Pages  83  to  90) 

In  order  to  show  exact  colors  available  we  have  prepared  sets  of  color  chips  in  families  of 
colors.  Each  color  is  numbered.  In  ordering  always  specify  the  body  color  desired  giving 
the  number  and  attaching  the  chip  to  your  order. 

Design  themes  that  can  be  applied  to  single  pieces  or  whole  sets  are  illustrated  in  the  back 
of  this  catalog  in  black  and  white.  You  may  have  any  choice  of  colors  worked  out  in  these 
designs.  A  piece  of  block  print  or  cretonne  frequently  serves  as  the  best  guide,  and  where  a 
choice  of  theme  and  colors  is  not  important  you  can  leave  it  to  the  judgment  of  our  decorating 
department  and  they  will  employ  the  best  tones  to  go  with  the  body  color  you  specify. 

In  cottages  and  informal  rooms  a  charming  variety  is  obtained  by  a  combination  of  various 
related  themes  and  body  colors,  as  would  be  found  on  original  peasant  furniture.  Remember 
that  the  best  effects  are  obtained  not  by  matching  colors  but  by  harmonizing  them.

Choosing 

Your 

Color 

Scheme 


We  offer  over  fifty  standard  body  colors.  (See  Danersk 
Color  Chips.)  Choose  one  of  the  standard  body  colors. 

Do  not  try  to  make  the  body  color  match  some  fabric 
or  paper.  Body  colors  should  be  in  harmony  with 
materials — not  necessarily  a  match.  Furniture  is  more 
permanent  than  any  paper  or  fabric. 

Colors  to  be  employed  in  the  decorative  themes  can 
be  varied  at  will  and  we  will  make  them  the  same  as 
those  in  any  fabric  without  extra  charge.

DANERSK  HAND  BLOCK-PRINTED  TEXTILES  FOR  CURTAINS 
UPHOLSTERY,  SCARFS  AND  BED  SPREADS 

Hand  block  printing  bears  the  same  relation  to  the  decorative  treatment  of  textiles  that  hand 
carving  and  inlaying  bear  to  wood  working.  The  art  was  known  to  the  early  Egyptians.  The 
famous  India  Prints  brought  to  the  Colonies  by  the  old  sea  captains  were  produced  by  this  process. 

In  the  last  century,  William  Morris  gave  an  impetus  to  this  form  of  decorative  work  which 
has  grown  in  importance  to  the  present  day. 

The  designs  are  carved  out  on  blocks  of  wood  (one  block  for  each  color)  and  with  them  the 
colors  are  stamped  or  printed  upon  the  fabrics.  The  range  of  decoration  may  vary  from  simple, 
one-block  designs,  to  exquisite  tapestry-like  creations. 

We  have  a  special  book  on  prints  and  chintzes  with  illustrated  methods  of  window  drapery, 
estimates  of  prices,  and  cuts  of  various  prints  and  linens  that  we  will  send  you  in  large  or  small 
quantities.  You  can  purchase  by  mail  the  curtains  for  your  windows  far  easier  than  you  can 
the  clothing  for  yourselves  and  your  children.  If  you  are  interested  in  this  subject,  send  for 
our  Danersk  Fabric  and  Curtain  Book.  Our  offices  are  located  in  the  heart  of  the  importing 
district  for  the  whole  country  and  we  are  glad  to  select  for  you  the  newest  and  quaintest 
prints  available.  We  maintain  a  department  for  this  purpose.

THE  HAPPY  CHINAMEN 


After  a  hundred  years  of  solitude  in  the  attic  of  an  old  Virginia  mansion  these  little  men  have  once  more  come  forth  to  give 
happiness  to  many  people.  From  curtains  with  stitches  so  fine  that  you  marvel  at  the  skill  of  the  needlewoman  that  made 
them,  they  have  been  etched  in  finest  craftsmanship  on  cut  steel  rollers  in  England  expressly  for  us,  and  we  offer  the  print 
in  its  original  width  and  colors.  *We  illustrate  it  in  our  catalog  to  show  that  we  are  not  content  with  the  stock  materials  offered 
throughout  the  country,  but  we  take  infinite  pains  to  secure  what  is  most  interesting  and  new.  I  he  rare  design  of  “The  Happy

The  Upholstered  Chaise  Longue  in  rooms  that  are  commodious  enough  to  allow  of  it  is  not  only  a  luxury — it  is  almost  a  necessity. 
This  piece  is  an  example  of  the  best  grade  of  upholstering  that  it  is  possible  to  find.  It  has  finely  tempered  springs  closely 
placed  to  insure  its  keeping  its  form  for  years  to  come.  This  chair  has  a  loose  cushion  of  English  down,  and  the  back  has  a 
soft  down  cushion  attached  as  an  integral  part  of  the  chair.  Its  lines  speak  somewhat  of  Chippendale  influence.  It  is  equally 
valuable  for  living-rooms  or  bedrooms,  and  is  frequently  done  in  heavy  material  for  library  use.

It  is  the  finish  or 
decoration  that 
proves  the  unity  of 
the  set.  You  may 
have  your  choice 
from  the  whole 
Danersk  line  to 
make  up  the  pieces 
you  desire  for  any 
room  and  we  will 
finish  them  in  a 
unified  manner, 
whether  it  be  the 
rich  antique  English 
method  or  the 
Danersk  lacquer 
colors. 


Simple  painted  furniture  for  bedrooms  is  being 
placed  in  the  most  beautiful  and  costly  homes  of 
today.  Done  in  solid  colors  that  strike  a  keynote 
for  each  room — with  lines  or  conventional  flower 
decoration  in  harmonious  tones  —  these  pieces  will 
be  found  forever  beautiful.  The  gaudy  in  painted 
furniture  may  pass,  but  decoration  that  is  true  to  the 
principles  of  good  art  will  be  treasured  always.  People 
will  never  again  go  back  to  the  dark  tones  for  all  their 
rooms.  One  or  two  should  be  in  the  natural  woods — 
but  for  gaiety  and  charm  the  soft  colors  of  true  ivory, 
old  rose,  blue,  and  the  various  shades  of  tan,  etc., 
must  be  used. 

The  Danersk  Colonial  Mahogany  finish  has  the 
beauty  of  the  originals.  The  Danersk  painted  pieces 
are  as  lustrous  and  beautiful  in  conception  as  the 
Old  English,  French  and  Italian  painted  furniture. 
When  required,  our  artists  can  be  as  daring  in  the 
modern  decoration  as  anyone  could  desire.

spindles  fits  into  this  typically  Colonial  setting.  Only  our

of  the  Colonial  days  that  brought  charm  into  the  New

The  English  Windsor  Beds  are  especially  appropriate  for  use  in  antique  settings  either  with 
original  old  furniture  or  with  the  Danersk  reproductions.  These  have  been  wonderfully 
successful  when  done  in  very  old  yellow  with  fine  decorations  and  overtones  of  sepia. 

The  value  of  the  Danersk  service  is  chiefly  that  you  can  have  things  finished  as  you  ought 
to  have  them. 

Durability  of  finish  and  correct  design  are  essential.  We  are  maintaining  a  corps  of  trained 
workers  to  carry  out  the  individual  ideas  of  our  customers.  This  service  cannot  be  obtained 
elsewhere  except  at  exorbitant  prices. 

In  making  up  bedroom  sets  a  wide  variety  of  combinations  can  be  had  to  suit  the  different 
rooms.  Customers  should  bear  in  mind  that  the  body  color  and  decorative  treatment  prove  the 
unity  of  the  set.  Thus  a  piece  such  as  No.  701  Chest  of  Drawers  can  be  used  with  various 
ol  the  Danersk  beds.  Suggestions  for  a  number  of  sets  will  be  found  at  the  end  of  the 
General  Price  List.

603H  AYER  FOUR-POSTER— Three-quarter  Size  2004  SMALL  PEASANT  CHEST  1103  AYER  BEDROOM  TABLE 


Most  of  the  old  time  Four-post  Beds  are  rather  crude  in  construction.  This  design  has  all  the  strength  required.  I  he  turning 
of  the  posts,  and  the  proportion  of  the  sizes  of  the  various  members  to  each  other,  have  combined  to  produce  a  bed  of 
exceptional  beauty.  This  design  is  most  charming  when  done  in  some  soft  color  scheme  with  a  quaint  design  on  the  head- 
board  in  keeping  with  the  flounce  and  bedspread.  In  our  Old  English  walnut  or  mahogany  tones,  the  Ayer  bed  will  be  a 
pleasure  for  years  to  come.  This  should  be  used  in  the  larger  sizes  only.

Excellence  of  construction  and  beauty  of  finish  are 
the  fundamental  characteristics  of  Danersk  Decorative 
Furniture.  It  would  be  impossible  for  any  dealer  to 
place  on  his  floor  furniture  of  marked  individuality 
which  could  express  your  own  desires  as  to  color  and 
form.  It  would,  moreover,  be  impractical  to  carry 
in  stock  the  infinite  variety  of  attractive  themes  of 
decorative  furniture  obtainable  from  our  workshops. 

In  purchasing  furniture  your  guarantee  must  always 
be  the  reputation  and  reliability  of  the  maker.  You  are 
purchasing  direct  from  the  maker  when  you  purchase 
Danersk  Furniture.  Therefore,  you  can  see  that  it  is 
vital  to  us  to  send  you  furniture  that  will  prove,  on 
inspection,  to  be  just  what  it  has  been  represented.  No 
firm  could  retain  the  good  will  of  its  customers  otherwise. 

705  The  Ayer  Chest  of  Drawers  is  offered  in  solid 
mahogany  or  walnut,  with  drawer  fronts  done  in 
beautifully  figured  crotch  wood,  This  Chest  of  Drawers 
is  suitable  to  go  with  any  of  the  Danersk  designs,  and 
is  especially  attractive  with  the  Dutch  Slat  Back  and 
Windsor  Beds. 

914  The  Sheraton  Chairs:  Delicacy  of  modelling  and 
fineness  of  workmanship  are  beautifully  exemplified  in 
these  chairs.  Very  suitable  for  any  of  the  more  formal 
rooms  of  the  house.

The  lattice  work  is  finished  with  the  care  and  detail  found  in  an  old  Chippendale  chair.  The  head

WITTERSHAM  BED.  A  model  correct  in  its  classic  simplicity.  For  the  more  formal  rooms  of

cabinetmaker’s  art  are  embodied  in  their  construction.  A  color  scheme  that  is  always  satisfactory 
is  our  ivory  or  very  light  French  gray  tone,  with  formal  designs  in  soft  blue,  lavender,  and  old  rose.

This  very  attractive  bed  is  in 
the  same  general  style  as  the 
Sussex  Bedstead  but  with  a 
higher  footboard.  All  the  cor¬ 
ners  are  rounded  and  softened 
so  that  this  piece  conveys  the 
impression  of  old-time  con¬ 
struction.  The  panels  offer 
an  exceptional  opportunity  for 
artisticdecoration  in  the  charm¬ 
ing  French  Basket  themes  or 
the  more  formal  lines  as  desired. 
Furniture  of  artistic  charm  and 
decorative  character  cannot 
well  be  purchased  from  stock. 
Our  organization  is  based  on  the 
principle  of  giving  any  finish, 
color  scheme  and  design  that 
our  customers  may  demand. 
Our  whole  shop  is  organized  for 
this  purpose. 

Whenever  possible  it  is  best  to 
leave  the  choice  of  colors  to  be 
used  in  the  decorative  themes 
toour  artists.  Customers  should 
choose  the  Body  Color  and  send 
us  a  bit  of  the  drapery  material. 
The  decorating  and  finishing  of

This  bedstead  is  especially  charming  in  the  single  sizes,  with  its  triple  panelled  headboard.  Beneath  the  coverlet  is  a  decorated 
footboard  that  is  just  high  enough  to  hold  the  mattress  and  bedding  in  place;  thus  the  bed  has  all  the  advantages  of  a 
regulation  footboard  and  is  correct  in  appearance  either  with  or  without  the  bedspread.  For  a  small  room  we  know  of  no 
piece  that  gives  such  an  air  of  space  and  dignity.

608 y*  DUTCH  SLAT  BACK  BEDSTEAD— Single  Size  9C0  DUTCH  SLAT  BACK  CHAIR 


Of  recent  years  in  England  a  certain  school  of  architects  and  designers  has  arisen  which  has  evolved  furniture  of  a  style  more 
original  in  conception  and  livable  in  character  than  any  that  has  been  created  since  the  days  of  the  cabinetmakers  of  one 
hundred  years  ago.  To  this  general  class  belong  our  Old  English  Windsor  and  Dutch  Slat  Back  Beds.  They  are  an  expression 
of  the  best  handwork  in  this  country  today,  and  embody  the  characteristics  that  are  in  demand  for  charming  American 
homes  whether  in  town  or  country.  These  beds  are  best  in  the  narrow  sizes.  They  are  equally  beautiful  when  finished  in  the 
very  antique  oak  or  walnut  tones,  or  painted  in  some  unusual  treatment  of  contrasting  colors.

For  prices  and  dimensions,  see  general

Danersk  braided  rugs  for  the  bed¬ 
room  can  be  had  in  all  sizes  upon 
order.  We  make  our  own  rugs  and 
are  able  to  produce  them  in  colors 
desired  within  the  usual  range  called 
for.  They  are  very  reasonable  in 
price  and  are  made  of  new  mill 
ends  of  fine  quality  cloth,  clean  and 
sanitary  and  very  durable.

Danersk  Bedroom  Furniture  is  full  of 
individuality.  Each  design  has  been 
evolved  after  much  study  and  the 
making  of  many  models.  The  pieces 
are  our  own,  although  the  inspiration 
has  come  from  the  past.  The  most 
authentic  books  and  photographs  of 
early  models  have  been  studied  and 
it  has  been  our  constant  purpose  to 
produce  pieces  that  will  be  perma¬ 
nently  valuable.  Whether  you  order 
these  things  in  the  beautiful  colors  of 
tones  of  our  antique  walnut  finish,  they 


804  POWDER  TABLE  1601  CARDIGAN  SETTLE 


will  be  equally  in  good  taste. 


The  PowderT able  is  a  convenient  piece 
for  small  rooms.  A  little  manicure 
table  well  adapted  for  the  boudoir. 


We  cannot  emphasize  too  strongly  the  varied  possibilities  that  are  open  to  you  by  the  harmonizing  of  the  finish  of  your 
furniture  with  some  attractive  cretonne  or  Old  English  block  printed  chintz.  This  applies  equally  to  the  old-time  Dutch  Slat 
Backs  and  hand-made  Windsors  as  well  as  to  the  more  distinctly  Danersk  Decorative  Furniture. 

GENERAL  NOTE:  Do  not  try  to  make  up  SETS  of  Danersk  Furniture  where  each  detail  of  construction  “matches.”  Let 
the  scheme  of  decoration  in  color,  theme,  and  finish  prove  the  unity  of  the  set. 


614  CARVED  POLYCHROME  BED  809  CARVED  POLYCHROME  LOWBOY 

The  Carved  Polychrome  pieces  should  be  made  of  select  solid  walnut,  and  the  carvings  done  in  very  low  relief.  Color  is 
applied  in  a  transparent  manner  to  the  carving  only,  thus  giving  the  effect  of  raised  enamel  work. 

The  walnut  body  color  is  left  practically  unfinished  so  that  with  age  it  takes  on  a  beautiful  patina  of  a  warm  purplish  tone 
very  different  from  the  usual  walnut  furniture.  The  total  effect  is  one  that  is  reminiscent  of  the  very  finest  furniture  that  has 
been  produced  in  the  early  days  in  Italy  and  England  in  the  use  of  natural  wood  and  color  ornamentation,  and  the  pieces 
thus  created  will  undoubtedly  be  of  increased  value  as  time  goes  on.

and  fitted  with  substantial  log  irons,  fashioned  to  stand  the  hardest  use.  The  flowers  are  hand-wrought  after  the  manner 
of  fine  Venetian  ironwork.  The  wrought  iron  is  done  by  an  artist  ironworker,  and  is  comparable  to  that  done  by  the 
famous  metal  workers  of  Cortina.  I  he  petals  of  the  flowers  are  colored  in  any  shades  desired,  and  finished  with  our  secret 
process  diamond-hard  lacquer.  The  volutes  and  modellings  touched  with  yellow  —  a  color  scheme  of  delicate  sweet  pea

The  flower  units  are  removable  for  those  periods  of  the  year  when  fires  are  a  necessity,  and  can  be  put  in  place  again  during 
the  months  when  fireplaces  are  not  usually  objects  of  interest.  Prices  are  not  listed  in  the  general  price  list,  but  will  be  quoted

This  Court  Cupboard  contains  nine  hand¬ 
dovetailed  trays  and  one  deep  drawer  sliding 
on  rollers.  A  much  more  economical  form  of 
construction  than  the  original  with  its  three 
deep  drawers.  It  also  contains  two  hand- 
polished  rods  for  the  winding  of  lace  center- 
pieces.  There  are  the  trays  for  the  flat  silver, 
and  the  proper  drawers  for  the  napkins  and 
doylies. 

This  method  of  constructing  the  panels  allows 
of  any  other  treatment  of  the  interior  desired 
for  special  uses.  The  beautiful  hand-made 
pulls  of  finest  brass,  black  mouldings,  and 
ornaments,  and  rich  tone  of  main  body  of  the 
piece,  make  this  one  of  the  most  valuable 
offered  by  the  Danersk  Shops. 

Historically,  it  belongs  to  the  period  of  Queen 
Elizabeth.  In  the  early  days  of  New  England, 
one  of  them  found  its  way  to  Boston,  where 
it  has  been  one  of  the  chief  treasures  of  the 
Putnam  family  to  this  day.

A  drawing  by  Kate  Greenaway  inspired  the  designing  of  this 
Sewing  Stand. 

It  is  made  with  a  mahogany  work  basket  and  beneath  it  a 
revolving  spool  box  with  lids  that  lift  up.  Inside  are  divisions 
for  needles,  spools,  embroidery  yarns,  etc. 

One  feature  in  particular  makes  this  sewing  stand  very  desirable 
and  that  is  its  light  weight,  making  it  possible  to  carry  it 
about  easily. 

Unique  and  graceful  in  appearance  and  of  unquestioned 
usefulness,  this  Danersk  piece  lends  a  quaint  charm  to  the  room 
in  which  it  is  placed. 

When  so  desired,  it  is  furnished  with  a  revolving  swift  for 
winding  yarns,  contrived  after  an  old  Colonial  model.

to  contain  the  first  treasures  of  a  new  home  and  the  choicest 
that  the  famdy  might  have  in  future  years? 

The  stern  New  England  character  might  look  with  disfavor

letters. 


Most  desks  must  be  set  against  the  wall.  This  charming  piece  is  as  beautifully  finished  on  the  back  as  on  the  front.  An

BORGHESE  SWIVEL  CHAIR — Old  Italian.  The  original  of  this 
little  Desk  Chair  is  to  be  found  in  the  Borghese  Palace,  in  Italy,  and 
the  only  available  copy  of  it  is  in  the  possession  of  the  Danersk 
Shops.  As  a  chair  for  use  at  a  lady’s  desk,  it  is  without  question 
a  quaint  and  at  the  same  time  most  utilitarian  piece  of  furniture. 
It  is  ordinarily  used  with  a  soft  cushion  placed  in  the  seat  and 
secured  by  ties  to  the  three  flat  banisters.  The  back  is  low 
enough  to  allow  the  chair  to  turn  below  the  extended  desk  tablet. 

MUSIC  RACK — Period,  Southern  Colonial.  The  original  of  this 
Music  Rack  was  found  in  New  Orleans  many  years  ago.  Its 
artistic  form  makes  it  a  beautiful  addition  to  the  music-room, 
and  it  is  admirably  adapted  as  a  gift.  Made  of  solid  mahogany 
with  revolving  rack,  which  can  be  raised  or  lowered  to  any 
desired  height.  It  is  a  beautiful  substitute  for  the  customary 
metal  racks  that  are  a  disfigurement  to  any  room.

A  true  Windsor  Settee  is  very 
difficult  to  obtain  and  intricate 
to  make.  This  piece  is  beau¬ 
tifully  fashioned,  with  carefully 
modeled  turnings  and  hand- 
split  spindlesof  straightgrained 
hickory.  These  spindles  are 
made  in  the  mountains  of 
North  Carolina  by  native  work¬ 
men  who  bring  them  to  our 
Tryon  shop.  It  is  absolutely 
impossible  to  obtain  the  old- 
time  strength  and  charm  by 
any  other  method  of  making. 

The  settees  are  built  to  last 
for  generations  and  will  in¬ 
crease  in  value  as  time  goes  on. 

They  are  finished  in  the  antique  natural  wood  tones  or  in  the  Danersk 
lacquer  colors. 


1615  WINDSOR  SETTEE 


COLONIAL  DAY  BED 

Period — American  Colonial,  1740 

The  light  turned  Day  Bed  was  the  forerunner  of  the  beautiful  Chip¬ 
pendale  pieces  of  this  general  design  and  of  the  French  Chaise  Longue.  In 
the  Colonies  at  the  time  of  Queen  Anne  the  model  for  this  day  bed  of 
the  Danersk  Shops  was  fashioned. 

Lightness,  strength  and  comfort  are  the  chief  characteristics  of  this  in¬ 
teresting  piece  of  Colonial  furniture. 

When  it  is  upholstered  in  one  of  the  gay  new  prints,  with  pillows  to 
match,  it  is  well  adapted  for  use  in  the  large  studio  living-rooms  of  many 
of  the  modern  apartments,  or  for  use,  as  in  the  old  days,  in  halls  or 
sleeping-rooms. 

Solid  mahogany  or  the  native  mountain  mahogany  are  the  best  woods 
to  be  used  in  making  the  day  bed.  It  is  finished  in  the  lovely  French 
polish,  or  colored  to  suit  the  room  in  which  it  is  to  be  placed.

The  Verona  Chair  is  Chippendale  in  design.  Chosen  because  of  its  low 
inviting  character,  it  has  appealed  to  the  many  customers  who  have  seen  it 
in  our  exhibition  rooms.  The  back  is  especially  graceful  in  line  and  angle 
of  declination.  It  is  used  with  our  Chippendale  writing  table  and  in  roomy 
bed  chambers  and  boudoirs.  The  workmanship  of  the  hand-sewn  edges 
and  soft  air  cushion  of  English  down  is  especially  noteworthy.  The  piece 
is  built  to  be  covered  and  recovered  for  years  to  come.

The  sewing  of  all  the  edges  and 
the  building  out  of  the  flat  sur¬

art.  This  chair  is  made  from 
the  raw  material  to  the  finished 
product  entirely  in  our  own 
shops.  The  surfaces  will  be 
smooth  and  even  for  years  to

and  dish-turned  top  can  only  be  appreciated  from  the  daily  associations

ENGLISH  OVERSTUFFED  CHAIRS  AND  DAVENPORTS 
Danersk  Upholstered  Furniture  is  made  in  the  Stamford  Shops.  The 
department  is  in  charge  of  an  upholsterer  who  was  for  seven  years 
engaged  in  work  for  Buckingham  Palace,  where  he  learned  the  art  of 
producing  upholstered  furniture  of  the  most  luxurious  character,  and  the 
scientific  construction  of  air  cushions  of  English  down  with  the  interior 
box  divisions. 

An  infinite  amount  of  pains  is  required  to  build  up  one  of  these  uphol¬ 
stered  pieces,  but  the  result  obtained  is  well  worth  the  labor  entailed. 
Pieces  thus  made  will  last  a  lifetime  and  can  be  covered  and  recovered 
for  years  to  come. 

The  pieces  here  illustrated  were  done  in  a  soft-toned  block  printed 
linen  for  a  country  house.  Brocade,  velour,  or  some  heavy  material  is 
more  generally  used. 

Your  own  materials  will  be  applied  or  samples  will  be  sent  you.  This 
furniture  does  not  belong  to  the  class  of  regulation  commercial  furniture. 
It  is  the  best  obtainable  of  its  kind.

A  comfortable  Wing  Chair  of  beautiful  lines  is  hard  to  find.  This  chair  was  modeled  after  a  very  correct  old  English  arm  chair, 
and  each  curve  and  proportion  has  been  studied  so  that  it  is  as  nearly  perfect  a  wing  chair  as  we  can  produce.  The  arms 
extend  to  the  back,  offering  a  rest  for  the  elbows  when  one  is  reading — a  feature,  the  absence  of  which,  renders  the  best  looking 
wing  chair  a  failure  from  point  of  correctness  and  comfort. 

This  English  Draw  Top  Table  is  intended  for  use  back  of  a  Davenport  or  as  a  regular  library  table.  The  leaves  can  be  pulled  out 
without  disturbing  the  articles  on  the  top.  It  should  be  made  of  solid  walnut  and  inlaid  with  ebony  or  of  old  oak  and  finished 
in  a  very  antique  manner. 

A  Vase  Back  Chair  in  ming  blue  or  decorated  in  the  old  Venetian  colorings  is  a  charming  addition  to  any  drawing-room. 
Danersk  Lamp  Shades  are  made  in  lovely  block-printed  silks  or  any  solid  color,  as  may  be  ordered. 

For  prices,  see  the  general  price-list  according  to  numbers. 

The  Draw  Top  Table  is  the  earliest  form  of  extension  table  made.  The  end  leaves  draw  out  and  rise  to  the  level  of  the  top  at 
the  same  time.  The  original  was  brought  from  England  by  a  famous  collector  and  has  remained  in  his  home.  It  is  charm¬ 
ingly  and  simply  inlaid  and  makes  an  ideal  piece  for  the  library  or  living-room.

A  very  unusual  Couch  for  sun-rooms,

The  seat  is  upholstered  with  soft 
springs.  The  fabric  should  be  wool 
tapestry  of  purely  conventional  de¬ 
sign,  such  as  the  well-known  flame 
pattern,  or  a  heavy  printed  linen. 
The  frame  may  have  any  colorings 
worked  out  in  the  carving  in  the 
antique  polychrome  manner,  and  all 
edges  are  softened  as  though  from 
years  of  use.

This  Chair  is  a  careful  copy  of  a 
very  early  English  original  which 
was  found  near  Land’s  End  in  Eng¬ 
land.  It  is  made  in  the  Danersk 
Shops  with  great  care  to  reproduce 
the  artistic  effects  of  the  old  chair. 
The  tool  marks  are  hand  worked  and 
the  pins  and  dowels  used  in  its  con¬ 
struction  are  visible.  For  this  class 
of  furniture,  we  select  very  old  wood, 
hard  and  interesting  in  grain.  These 
chairs  are  especially  suitable  for 
dining-room  use  with  shp-in  seats  of 
woven  rush  and  loose  cushions,  or 
as  odd  chairs  for  English  halls. 

Appropriate  Sideboards  are  the  Eliza¬

room.  It  was  frequently  painted  and  decorated  in  quaint  designs 
in  the  olden  days  and  was  given  to  newly  married  couples  with 
the  initials  and  date  worked  in  with  the  decoration.  The  space 
back  of  the  doors  can  be  filled  with  sliding  trays.

This  piece  was  adapted  from  a 
rare  Old  English  chest.  The 
panels  let  down,  disclosing  easy- 
sliding  trays  and  offering  a  place 
for  the  arranging  of  linens,  etc., 
without  disturbing  the  articles  on 
the  top  of  the  chest. 

When  designed  for  the  dining¬ 
room,  with  trays  for  silver  and 
linen,  it  makes  an  excellent  ser¬ 
ving  table.

In  Percy  Macquoid’s  “History  of  English  Furniture”  is 
illustrated  the  original  of  this  table  as  one  of  the  best  ex¬ 
amples  of  furniture  of  this  period.  Finished  in  the  antique 
manner,  with  high  lights  showing  as  though  from  years  of 
use,  it  makes  a  valuable  addition  to  the  home  from  the 
point  of  view  of  historic  interest  as  well  as  good  design.

Period  —  Seventeenth  Century  English 

In  this  Serving  1  able  of  the  Stuarts  is  seen  a  form  of  sideboard  that  is  rapidly  finding  favor  over  the  top-heavy  creations  that 
have  been  produced  in  this  country  for  the  last  fifty  years. 

Phis  fine  example  of  Danersk  cabinetmaking  offers  a  spacious  place  for  the  display  of  beautiful  silver,  china  and  porcelains, 
and  also  has  been  used  along  the  wall  of  large  living-rooms  or  libraries. 

It  is  made  with  shallow  drawers  at  the  top  for  flat  silver  and  the  usual  paneled  doors  and  large  hand-dovetailed  trays  for  linen 
and  doylies. 

Unlike  the  imported  furniture'  of  this  character,  all  the  delicate  mouldings  are  pinned  on  as  well  as  glued,  and  it  is  made  in<every 
particular  to  withstand  the  trying  conditions  of  our  American  climate. 

Lovely  combinations  of  figured  walnut  in  the  panels  and  ebony  mouldings  are  possible  in  this  piece.

1800  STRATFORD  DRESSER — 6  feet  long  and  6  feet  6  inches  high 

The  Old  English  Dresser  or  Hunting  Table  makes  the  best  of  Sideboards.  This  very  simple  design  is  a  replica  of  a  rare 
early  model.  It  has  three  deep  drawers  for  linens,  and  three  shallow  drawers,  as  a  part  of  the  apron,  for  flat  silver. 

The  price  includes  artistic  antiquing  so  that  each  piece  resembles  the  original  in  point  of  worn  places  on  the  edges  and  in 
the  coloring.  You  may  have  your  choice  of  oak  or  walnut  in  the  antique  English  brown,  or  you  may  have  any  color  of  our 
lustrous  French  lacquer  finish — black,  saffron,  old  ivory  and  gold,  Danersk  blue,  jade  green. 

The  best  wood  is  the  solid  walnut  cut  in  our  own  mill  and  finished  in  a  soft  tone  that  has  the  appearance  of  great  age.  When 
made  in  this  way  the  Stratford  Dresser  is  a  piece  that  will  surely  increase  in  value  as  the  years  go  on 


The  English  Draw  Top  Table  is  most  convenient  and  comfortable.  1  he  table  closed  should  be  the  right  size  for  the  family, 
each  leaf  will  add  from  1 8  to  24  inches  to  the  length.  The  table  illustrated  is  3  feet  6  inches  wide  and  4  feet  6  inches  long 
when  closed.  Each  leaf  is  1%  feet  wide,  so  that  the  maximum  length  is  7  feet  6  inches.  It  will  seat  ten  people  comfortably. 
Drop  Leaf  Consol  Tables  can  be  added  at  any  time  which  will  increase  the  length  from  2  to  3  feet  each.

9SS  WINDSOR  1111  TABLE  1800  DRESSER 

We  are  pre-eminent  in  our  hand-made  Windsor  Chairs.  They  have  a  charming  individuality  of  appeal 
impossible  to  obtain  in  the  factory  reproductions.  We  have  used  rare  old  models  that  have  been  collected 
for  the  purpose  and  our  workmen  have  the  originals  before  them  to  copy.  They  are  fashioned  by 
skilled  workmen  in  our  shop  in  the  mountains  of  North  Carolina,  and  finished  in  our  shop  at  Stamford 
with  the  original  finishes  and  methods. 

English  Hunting  Table.  A  generous  sideboard  has  always  been  the  sign  of  hospitality  and  good  cheer. 
In  this  day  of  built-in  cupboards  and  ample  closets  it  is  not  necessary  to  provide  these  facilities  in 
the  sideboard,  and  we  can  go  back  to  the  pieces  of  the  early  days  when  beauty  of  line  was  valued 
above  other  considerations.  The  English  Hunting  Table  is  intended  to  be  used  with  any  of  the  draw 
top  tables  or  Old  English  gate  leg  tables  made  in  the  Danersk  Shops.  Beautiful  cabinetwork  and 
perfect  finishing  is  embodied  in  this  piece.

Height  of  plate  rack,  38  inches 


The  Kenilworth  Sideboard  is  one 
of  the  most  successful  pieces  for 
the  cottage  and  country  house 
dining-rooms  that  is  made  in  the 
Danersk  factory.  If  you  will  look 
through  your  books  on  English 
furniture  you  will  find  many 
similar  old  dressers  illustrated. 

This  simple  design  is  full  of  prac¬ 
tical  utility  and  possesses  the 
quaint  lines  of  the  originals.  No 
commercial  piece  of  its  size  can 
compare  with  it  in  price  and 
originality.  The  two  large  panels 
let  down  like  desk  lids,  and  the 
spaces  within  contain  adjustable 
shelves  for  linens,  etc. 

The  Draw  Top  Table  is  the 
earliest  form  of  extension  table 
devised.  It  is  of  the  refectory 

type,  a  form  that  is  increasing  in  favor  not  only  for  formal  dining-rooms,  but  also  for  breakfast  and  sun-rooms.  As  the  exten¬ 
sion  leaf  is  pulled  out,  it  rises  to  the  level  of  the  main  table  top.  Either  or  both  leaves  may  be  used;  thus  the  table  has  three  sizes 
It  is  thoroughly  practical  not  only  for  use  in  the  dining-room  but  also  as  a  library  table.  Heretofore  it  has  been  impossible 
to  obtain  this  type  of  table  except  in  antique  originals.

Antique  Venetian  design  is  the  acme  of  decorated  furniture.  The  soft  tones  are  beautiful  with  a  lasting  quality  that  has  made 
the  originals  of  this  type  more  valuable  than  any  other  furniture  of  its  kind.  We  have  skilled  artists  who  obtain  effects 
that  ace  completely  satisfying  and  the  value  of  pieces  done  in  this  way  is  not  a  matter  merely  of  the  present.  They 
become  increasingly  beautiful  with  age. 

This  Chinese  Chippendale  furniture  is  made  of  the  finest  Cuban  mahogany  and  can  be  finished  as  illustrated  above  or  done 
in  the  pure  tones  of  the  natural  wood.  The  joining  of  these  chairs  is  especially  noteworthy,  and  their  comfort  for  dining¬

Dimensions:  5  feet  6  inches  long;  23  inches  maximum  depth;  36  inches  high 


This  Sheraton  Board  is  an  adaptation  from  one  of  the  most 
perfect  pieces  by  the  great  designer.  The  entire  front  has  a  gentle 
bow  or  curve.  The  drawers  are  hand-dovetailed  solid  mahogany 
throughout.  It  is  made  with  inlaid  edges  and  lines  as  illustrated 
or  decorated  in  the  charming  Danersk  color  schemes.  It  contains 
two  small  drawers  for  silver,  two  large  drawers  for  linens  and  two 
trays  in  the  right-hand  compartment  for  napkins.  The  left-hand 
compartment  is  for  tall  silver  or  bottles.  The  hardware  for  this 
piece  was  made  in  England.  It  has  a  wonderful  patina  like  the 
original  brass  of  the  period. 

The  painted  Sheraton  was  the  most  charming  contribution  to 
furniture  in  the  Eighteenth  Century.

overcome  a  fundamental  defect  in  gate  leg  tables  for  dining-room  use.  The  two  lower  stretchers  or  rungs  at  each  end  of  the 
frame  have  been  set  in  on  a  line  with  the  gates  so  that  they  are  well  out  of  the  way  of  the  diners,  and  the  end  posts  are  far 
enough  apart  to  allow  a  chair  to  be  placed  between  them. 

The  Sheraton  Dining-chairs  are  strong  and  graceful.  The  joining  is  the  finest  quality  of  hand  work.

DANERSK  COTTAGE  FURNITURE 
OF  PEASANT  CHARACTER 

The  decorative  themes  of  the  Peasant  Painted  Furniture,  originated  in  the 
Tyrol,  are  peculiarly  well  adapted  for  use  in  the  sun-room,  or  for  shore 
and  camp  cottages.  These  pieces  are  carefully  made,  hand  decorated  and 
finished.  They  are  offered  in  the  rich  brown  tones  of  our  native  white 
walnut,  or  they  may  be  painted  in  a  color  of  background  to  harmonize 
with  your  room. 

The  colors  of  the  decorations  illustrated  are  peasant  tones  of  green,  blue 
and  red,  applied  in  flat  manner,  without  shading;  thus  avoiding  all  ap¬ 
pearance  of  the  usual  hand-painted  productions. 

For  other  design  themes  and  colors,  see  the  design  themes  and  Danersk 
Color  Chips.  Send  us  a  bit  of  the  fabric  you  are  to  use  in  your  sun-room  or 
.  breakfast-room  and  let  us  do  the  decoration  in  the  same  scheme,  or  if  you 
have  not  chosen  your  fabric  we  will  be  glad  to  submit  samples  of  block

DANERSK  WINDSOR  CHAIRS 


Danersk  Windsor  Chairs  cost  more  than  common  Windsor  Chairs,  because  they  are  superior  to  them  in  construction,  wood 
and  design.  They  are  the  only  strictly  hand-made  Windsors  produced  in  this  country.  They  are  made  in  our  shop  in  the 
mountains  of  North  Carolina  where  we  specialize  on  these  chairs  and  the  Windsor  Beds  that  go  with  them. 

The  models  from  which  we  copied  these  chairs  were  each  of  them  over  a  century  old.  The  common  Windsor  Chairs  made 
to-day  by  the  thousands  are  rickety  in  a  year  or  two.  Why  ? 

What  is  the  difference  between  DANERSK  HAND-MADE  WINDSOR 
CHAIRS  and  those  which  are  turned  out  by  the  hundred 

by  automatic  machinery? 

OLD-TIME  WINDSORS  had  spindles  split  out  by  hand  from  green  hickory  and  ash  and  hand-shaped  with  the  grain  of  the 
wood  by  draw-knife  and  scrape. 

DANERSK  HAND-MADE  WINDSORS,  made  in  the  mountains  of  North  Carolina,  have  their  spindles  produced  in  the 
same  manner  from  elastic  split  grain  hickory. 

MACHINE-MADE  WINDSOR  SPINDLES  are  chucked  out  regardless  of  the  grain  of  the  wood. 


OLD-TIME  WINDSORS  had  chair  posts  which  came  clear  through  the  seat  and  were  wedged  with  hard-wood  wedges  from  the 
top,  so  that  they  could  not  come  out  and  spread  apart. 

DANERSK  HAND-MADE  WINDSOR  posts  are  fashioned  exactly  like  the  old  ones.  This  costs  more,  but  it  is  worth  it. 
They  will  last  for  generations  without  spreading  apart. 

MACHINE-MADE  WINDSOR  posts  are  merely  fitted  to  the  under  side  of  the  seat  with  glue  and  nails.  They  are  not 
intended  to  last  for  generations. 


OLD-TIME  WINDSOR  CHAIRS  possessed  individuality,  due  to  the  fact  that  the  spindles  were  of  various  sizes,  and  the  rims 
and  posts  of  each  chair  showed  plainly  that  they  had  been  fitted  and  joined  by  hand. 

DANERSK  HAND-MADE  WINDSORS  have  this  same  individuality .  It  is  impossible  for  our  chair  makers  to  produce  any 
two  chairs  exactly  alike,  and  this  very  fact  lends  charm  to  the  appearance  of  the  chairs. 

MACHINE-MADE  WINDSORS,  turned  out  by  the  thousand,  are  all  exactly  alike.  The  machine-made  Windsor  Chair  which 
you  purchase  is  an  exact  facsimile  of  every  other  chair  turned  out  with  it. 

Which  kind  of  Windsor  Chair  do  you  want  —  the  one  which  possesses  charm,  individuality  and  lasting  qualities,  or  the  opposite? 
There  can  be  but  one  answer.

Hand-made  chairs  designed  by  E.  L.  Lutyens,  the  well-known  English  architect 


LIBERTY  CHAIRS 

Two  modem  English  Chairs  made  for  Liberty  &  Co.,  London 

An  interesting  feature  of  these  chairs,  which  is  not  to  be  obtained  outside  of  the  Danersk  Shops,  is  this:  All  the  rungs  and  back 
slats  have  been  split  out  of  straight-grained  hickory  in  the  mountains,  drawn  down  and  shaped  by  hand  instead  of  being 
turned.  In  this  way  the  chairs  possess  the  maximum  of  strength  and  elasticity,  and  that  other  quality  so  necessary  to  an 
absolutely  individual  and  exclusive  production — the  charming  irregularity  that  speaks  of  hand  work  and  care  in  the  making,  and 
thus  of  durability.  The  Danersk  Shops  have  no  more  useful  chairs  to  offer  than  these  two  for  ,the  library  and  living-rooms.

i  he  Colonial  Chairs  illustrated  are  all  of  the  purest  type. 
1  hey  are  hand  made  and  hand  turned.  We  have  not 
sacrificed  wood  stock  to  save  labor  and  material.  The 
banister  backs  and  vase  backs  are  made  and  finished 
with  exactly  the  same  proportions  as  the  original  chairs, 
and  the  hand-woven  rush  seats  are  beautifully  made. 

We  cannot  recommend  these  hand -made  chairs  too 
highly  for  use  in  halls  and  bedrooms  and  as  occasional 
chairs  for  the  living-rooms.  They  give  an  air  of  age  that 
is  unmistakable,  and  seem  to  be  things  that  have  been 
handed  down  from  other  days.

RUSH  SEATED  CHAIRS 


There  are  certain  styles  of  Rush  Seated  Chairs,  which  were  made  in  early  Colonial  days,  that  were  always  painted  in  bright 
colors  with  little  festoons  of  flowers  or  stenciled  fruit.  They  illustrate  the  force  of  tradition  even  in  our  Puritanical  ancestors, 
who  could  not  entirely  suppress  their  love  for  the  beautiful. 

We  offer  a  few  of  these  Danersk  Rush  Seated  Chairs,  which  are  the  best  in  form  and  design  available.  On  these  our  themes  of 
decoration  appear  to  excellent  advantage.  They  are  the  lowest  priced  and  best  obtainable  in  this  country  to-day.

They  do  not  belong  in  the  class  with  the  English

But  they  are  wonderfully  strong  and  comfortable.

shaped  so  that  no  water  can  cause 
warping  or  cracking. 

These  pieces  should  last  a  lifetime 
and  be  of  unusual  charm  in  your

will  be  decorated  in  any  of  the 
bright  Danersk  color  schemes

This  is  Garden  Furniture  of  dis¬

of  the  same  design  as  the  chairs 
and  tables  of  the  famous  Parisian 
boulevard  cafes.  For  formal  gar¬ 
dens  or  a  corner  of  the  lawn  where 
tea  is  most  frequently  served,  these 
pieces  are  admirable. 

The  French  are  pre-eminent  in 
matters  of  design.  Artistic  iron¬ 
work  is  just  beginning  to  be 
appreciated  in  this  country.  We 
offer  these  pieces  in  the  knowledge 
that  they  are  the  coming  garden 
furniture  for  beautiful  estates.

DANERSK  BRAIDED  RUGS 


The  old  time  Colonial  braided  rugs  are  so  interesting  in  character 
and  firm  to  the  touch  that  they  are  most  desirable  for  breakfast- 
rooms  and  bedrooms  in  country  houses.  We  make  our  own  rugs  of 
new  cloth— clean  and  sanitary.  Woven  in  a  very  wide  variety  of 
colors.  When  orders  are  placed  three  weeks  in  advance  of  date 
of  shipment  required,  we  can  combine  colors  according  to  the  cus¬ 
tomer’s  order  in  any  sizes  (either  oval  or  round). 

A  distinctive  room  of  great  charm  can  be  evolved  by  the  use  of 
Danersk  Braided  Rugs,  Block  Prints  and  Decorative  Furniture.  Done 
in  color  schemes  that  express  the  individuality  of  the  purchaser. 
To  buy  stock  productions  as  made  for  thousands  is  like  buying  a 
ready-made  suit  as  compared  with  having  clothes  made  for  you 
according  to  models  that  please  you. 

The  home  is  the  most  important  thing  in  our  lives.  It  is  that  for 
which  all  the  industry  and  thought  is  about.  Surely  it 
demands  a  little  planning  in  advance.  Place  your  order 
for  the  choice  of  pieces  you  really  want  for  any  given  room. 
And  place  it  ahead  of  time  so  that  you  can  evolve  colors 
and  schemes  that  you  will  never  see  in  other  homes  and 
that  your  children  will  love  for  years  to  come. 

Danersk  Hand-made  Braided  Rugs  have  all  of  the  good  points 
of  the  original  old-time  Colonial  braided  rugs  and  none  of  the 
bad  features  of  the  modern  machine-made  imitations.  They  are  produced  in  the  homes  of 
people  living  in  the  very  district  of  New  England  that  originated  these  rugs,  and  are  made  from 
clean,  pure  mill  ends  of  brand  new  material  which  is  distributed  for  the  purpose.  The  hand- 
braided  rugs  will  last  for  twenty-five  years  without  showing  appreciable  wear  and  tear,  whereas 
machine-made  rugs  will  go  to  pieces  in  a  very  short  time,  due  to  the  following  facts  : 

First.  With  hand-made  rugs,  strips  1  y2  inches  wide  are  rolled  so  that  no  frayed  edges  appear 
and  all  the  surfaces  are  smooth  and  clean. 

Second.  Each  circle  of  color  is  complete,  and  butt  ends  are  fastened  together  so  cleverly  by 
hand  that  one  cannot  detect  the  joint,  whereas  machine-made  rugs  have  to  depend  upon  a 
continuous  braid,  regardless  of  color,  thus  presenting  a  very  uneven  and  incorrect  appearance. 
Third.  Machine-stitched  rugs  have  a  zig-zag  sewing  that  is  on  the  wearing  surface  of  the  rug, 
and  is  soon  worn  through,  causing  the  rug  to  come  to  pieces. 

Fourth.  Hand-stitched  rugs  are  sewn  on  solid  rolled  braids,  and  the  stitches  gradually  turn  into 
the  center  as  the  rug  is  used,  with  the  result  that  it  becomes  the  same  on  both  sides,  giving 
two  wearing  surfaces. 

Fifth.  Machine-made  rugs  have  frayed  edges  along  the  braids.  The  strands  are  not  rolled  and 
do  not  possess  thickness.  The  surfaces  have  folds  and  wrinkles  that  wear  and  fray. 

Sixth.  Hand-made  rugs  necessarily  cost  more  than  machine  production,  because  the  most  skilled 
worker,  employed  ten  hours  a  day,  cannot  produce  a  rug  the  size  of  9  x  12  in  less  than  one  month, 
and  the  ordinary  worker  in  her  home  requires  three  months’  time  to  produce  a  similar  rug. 
MATERIALS — Braided  rugs  are  offered  as  follows:  1.  Sateen  in  solid  colors,  full  of  contrast  and 
vigor.  2.  Mixed  colors  of  cotton  cretonnes,  strong  and  durable.  3.  Woolens  in  soft  pastel  shades. 
COLOR — If  you  will  send  a  bit  of  your  cretonne  or  drapery  material,  we  will  supply  the  best 
rug  from  a  large  stock  of  forty  different  colors  and  patterns  to  go  with  your  scheme.  The  fact 
that  cretonne  rugs  are  made  from  mill  ends  of  practically  all  the  good  prints  produced  in  this 
country  makes  it  possible  for  us  to  offer  stock  braided  rags  that  will  fit  with  any  color  scheme. 
DELIVERIES — All  Danersk  Rugs  are  made  to  your  order,  and  the  time  for  possible  delivery 
varies  according  to  the  size  and  intricacy  of  the  rugs. 


[  8o  ] 


SIZE — Standard  sizes  of  braided  rugs,  both  oval  and  circular,  are  listed  in  Price  List  for  Danersk 
Accessories.  Any  special  size  desired  will  be  made. 

SETS — For  large  rooms,  it  is  customary  to  order  a  number  of  moderate  sized  rugs  rather  than 
one  large  rug,  both  as  a  matter  of  economy  in  cost  and  artistic  treatment. 

PRICES  —  See  Special  Price  List  of  Danersk  Accessories.  For  special  sizes  and  colors,  an 
additional  price  is  charged,  as  stated  in  the  Accessory  Price  List. 

NOTE — These  rugs  are  the  best  possible  workmanship,  and  inasmuch  as  they  are  made  to  order, 
cannot  be  returned.  We  do  not  send  out  rugs  on  approval,  therefore  care  should  be  taken  at 
the  outset  in  determining  exactly  the  size  and  colors  wanted.  Use  Danersk  color  chips,  or  send 
for  samples  of  the  fabric  which  will  be  used  in  your  rugs. 

The  following  stock  sizes  are  kept  on  hand  in  mixtures  of  color  suitable  for  bedrooms.  Other 
sizes  will  be  made  promptly  to  order:

SPECIAL  SERVICE  IN  CURTAIN  MAKING 
if  you  will  send  us  the  dimensions  of  the  face  casing  of  your  windows  we  will  make  up  curtains 
in  accordance  with  your  requirements  in  any  of  the  materials  illustrated  in  our  book  of  prints, 
furnishing  the  valance  shelf  and  fixtures  complete  so  that  they  can  be  hung  in  place  immediately 
without  difficulty  or  trouble  of  any  sort.  In  measuring  be  careful  to  give  the  full  width  between 
the  outside  edges  of  the  face  casing  and  the  full  length  from  the  top  edge  to  the  bottom  edge  of  the  same . 
Purchase  your  curtain  materials  by  mail.  Send  for  the  Danersk  Book  of  Block  Prints  and  Chintzes.

a  more  comfortable  and  durable  mattress  than  any  competitive  product  on  the  market. 
SPRINGS — The  same  qualifications  that  apply  to  our  mattresses  apply  also  to  our  springs. 
Special  sizes  can  be  furnished  on  short  notice.  It  is  unwise  to  purchase  cheap  mattresses 
and  springs. 

It  is  to  your  advantage  to  purchase  mattresses  and  springs  from  the  ones  who  made  the  bed 
for  these  reasons:  First.  You  are  insured  an  absolute  fit.  Second.  You  save  freight  and  trans¬ 
portation  by  having  them  packed  with  the  bed.  Third:  you  insure  immediate  use  of  your  bed 
as  soon  as  it  arrives.  Fourth ,  it  is  impractical  to  send  specifications  to  local  mattress  makers. 
SANITATION — Small  mattress  makers  do  not  scruple  to  work  up  used  materials  into  their 
products.  Danersk  Mattresses  are  made  in  a  huge,  well-lighted  modern  concrete  factory,  where 
materials  are  purchased  in  such  quantities  that  all  new,  pure  sterilized  hair  and  feathers  are 
absolutely  guaranteed. 

IMPERIAL  EDGE  means  that  an  additional  amount  of  pure,  long  South  American  hair  has 
been  sewn  over  and  over  in  a  roll  around  the  top  and  bottom  edges  to  insure  the  proper  dres¬ 
sing  of  the  bed.  It  prevents  an  uneven 
appearance  after  the  bed  is  made. 

NO  TUFT  is  the  most  luxurious  method  of 
making  a  mattress  known.  It  means  a  per¬ 
fectly  smooth  cover  that  always  keeps  in  shape 
and  layers  of  lamb’s-wool  make  the  top  very 
soft,  while  all  the  spring  of  the  finest  selected 
long  hair  comes  from  within.

Electric  Table  Lamps  are  made  in  such  quantities 
that  we  are  able  to  offer  them  at  extremely  reasonable 
prices.  Woodwork  is  the  finest  grade  of  mountain  mahog¬ 
any  or  birch  and  is  finished  by  us  in  our  Decoration 
Department  at  Stamford,  Conn.,  in  all  of  the  regulation 
Danersk  methods.  Each  lamp  is  furnished  with  a  6-foot 
length  of  insulated  brown  silk  cord.  All  of  the  exposed 
metal  parts  are  burnished  brass  and  lacquered.  Chain 
switches  for  the  individual  lights.  The  bases  are  covered 
with  green  felt. 

These  Candlesticks  are  turned  out  ot  selected  stock 
and  finished  to  match  Danersk  furniture.  They  are 
not  crude  products  but  finely  finished  objects  of  value. 
The  bases  are  covered  with  green  felt. 

All  Shade  Frames  are  made  of  -inch  steel  wire  and 
all  joints  soldered.  Danersk  shades  are  covered  with 
a  special  Habutai  silk  which  experience  has  shown  is  the 
best  for  the  purpose.  Danersk  materials  are  sunproof  and 
can  be  washed  in  gasoline  without  injury.  Our  experience 
can  save  you  costly  experiments.  Shades  as  illustrated  are 
made  of  interesting  block  prints  in  beautiful  colors  on  the 
finest  quality  of  silk  crepe,  China  silk,  etc.  The  trimmings 
are  the  best  obtainable  galloons  in  Roman  gold  color,  both 
for  the  vellum  shades  and  the  silk.  We  choose  the  colors 
in  harmony  with  your  color  schemes,  or  will  send  samples 
upon  request.  All  shades  are  made  to  order;  therefore,  we 
must  be  allowed  from  ten  to  fifteen  days  to  produce  them. 

DANERSK  DECORATED 
LAMP  SHADES 

These  are  made  of  heavy  Watteau  paper,  colored  in  the 
antique  Venetian  effects,  and  trimmed  with  Roman  gold 
galloons.  They  are  as  durable  as  the  vellum  or  sheepskin 
shades  and  do  not  wrinkle  and  crack  with  the  heat.  The 
large  amount  of  delicate  and  painstaking  work  required  in 
doing  the  designs  in  the  various  colors  of  these  shades, 
renders  them  very  valuable;  and  we  can  say  with  confidence 
to  our  customers,  that  our  prices  for  this  work  are  ex¬ 
tremely  reasonable  as  compared  with  similar  services 
rendered  elsewhere.  For  prices,  consult  the  General

DANERSK  DISHES 

Charming  dishes  are  the  chief  adornment  oi  the  table.  }ust  how 
important  a  part  they  play  in  the  life  of  a  family  it  would  be  hard  to 
estimate.  There  is  not  one  oi  us  that  does  not  cherish  a  particular 
affection  for  some  set  or  piece  that  we  have  known  and  valued  because  of  its  associations.  It  is  therefore  a  matter  of  real  importance 
that  we  should  exercise  care  in  the  selection  of  our  tableware. 


S14  ENGLISH  PHEASANT 


518  COMPOTE  AND 
WREATH 


519  FLOWER  POT 
AND  PLATE 


In  order  to  satisfy  the  constant  demands  of  our  customers  we  have  selected  three  sets  rrom  the  thousands  offered  by  the  importers,  with 
the  aim  of  finding  pieces  that  will  be  of  quaint  beauty  and  exquisite  taste.  They  are  made  at  Stoke  on  Trent  and  at  the  Wedgewood 
Works.  They  are  open  patterns  and  can  always  be  replenished  if  the  set  becomes  broken. 

We  do  not  send  dishes  on  approval.  All  dishes  are  carefully  packed  in  wooden  boxes  and  sent  to  you  express  collect.  Should  any 
dishes  be  broken  in  transit  we  will  replace  them.  Prices  are  printed  on  a  separate  sheet  and  are  not  included  in  the  general  price  list. 
Terms— Cash  is  required  with  order  for  all  dishes  and  glass. 

514  General  tones  are  old  Chinese  yellow  in  the  band. 

Bird  and  branch  in  soft  tones  of  blue,  green  and 
naturalistic  effects  inspired  by  an  old  India  print,  a 
quaint  pattern  of  early  tradition  which  should  prove 
valuable  for  years  to  come. 

515  This  inexpensive  set  has  exquisite  colorings  of  pure 
Chinese  tones  such  as  is  found  on  an  old  vase.  These 
pieces  are  eminently  suitable  for  daily  use  and  are 
pure  enough  in  design  and  inspiration  to  rank  with 
some  of  the  early  pieces  that  have  been  handed  down 
to  us  from  the  Colonial  days.  Soft  pinks,  blue,  green 
and  yellow  predominate. 

Blown  Bottles  of  Venetian  Glass  with  the  daintiest  of 
modelled  stoppers.  Mayflowers  in  tones  of  lavendar, 
pink  and  soft  blue,  with  green  leaves.  These  bottles 
are  the  latest  cry  in  serving  tea,  and  are  used  by  the 
hostess  of  today  in  offering  a  few  drops  of  rum  as  one 
more  method  of  observing  the  ritual  of  afternoon 
tea.  They  are  offered  in  colors  of  deep  royal 
purple,  amber,  pale  lavendar  and  palest  green.  The 
bottles  have  all  the  little  imperfections  and  irregu¬ 
larities  in  the  glass  that  are  found  only  in  the  earliest 
Colonial  productions.  They  are  objects  of  immediate 
admiration  and  a  source  of  pleasure  to  the  possessors.

Everyone  who  has  traveled  in  Italy  is  familiar  with  the  lovely  Italian  majolica  with  soft  tone  and 
modelled  themes.  These  pieces  always  speak  of  the  sunny  hills  of  Italy,  and  the  most  casual  observer 
feels  a  sense  of  pleasure  at  seeing  them  because  they  are  so  different  in  character  from  the  usual 
things  found  in  American  homes.  To  grace  the  center  of  the  breakfast  table,  they  are  especially 

delightful  pieces.  The  flower  pot  is  5  inches  in  diame¬ 
ter,  inside  measurement;  the  compote,  8  inches  in 
diameter,  inside  measurement. 

517  The  photograph  cannot  describe  the  beauty  of  this 
bowl  filled  with  fruit  and  the  contrast  of  bright  colors 
with  the  soft  cream  tones  of  the  Wedgewood  ware. 
The  inside  dimensions  are  8  inches  in  diameter. 

1  he  true  ivory  tone  of  the  Wedgewood  Dishes  needs  no 
introduction  to  lovers  of  good  tableware.  This  set  is  of 
the  purest  classic  inspiration,  charming  with  Colonial 
furniture  or  with  the  Danersk  decorative  reproductions 
of  English  designs.  The  main  body  color  has  that  soft 
richness  of  glaze  which  is  absolutely  distinct  from  any 
other  ware.  The  coloring  is  in  sweet  pea  shades  of  deli¬ 
cate  pink,  lavendar  and  green;  very  dainty  and  in  exquisite 
taste.  We  cannot  recommend  too  highly  this  Wedge¬ 
wood  set  because  of  its  purity  of  form  and  line,  and  its 
516  WEDGEWOOD  DINNER  SET  intrinsic  value.
